Abstract

In the spectrum acquisition with EELS in the TEM, there are limitations in achieving high signal to noise ratio with high overall counts and enough energy resolution requirements. These are large intrinsic background in EELS spectra, channel to channel gain variation (CCGV) in the parallel detection system and difficulties in obtaining statistically high total counts. CCGV and total counts can be corrected and the S/N ratio may be improved by on-line acquisition procedures. The procedures in correcting and improving the limitations will be discussed in this article.
